| Summary: | The BBC produced Shakespeare in Perspective, a series of 25-minute personal introductions to individual plays by an eclectic range of presenters from the literary (Anthony Burgess, Dennis Potter, Jilly Cooper) to the scholarly (Germaine Greer, Frank Kermode, Michael Wood) to the celebrity (Roy Hudd, George Melly, Barry Took). These usually took the form of straight-to-camera addresses from assorted locations with some connection to the play, which were intercut with extracts from the accompanying BBC Shakespeare production, usually screened later that evening. This Shakespeare in Perspective episode, Pericles, was written and presented by poet and journalist P.J. Kavanagh and was filmed at The Minanck Theatre, Porthcurno, Cornwall, England, with extracts from the BBC Television Shakespeare production of Pericles, Prince of Tyre directed by David Jones. |
